Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin will block all of President Joe Biden’s nominees to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over the agency’s proposed rule regulating power plants, he announced Wednesday.

“This Administration is determined to advance its radical climate agenda and has made it clear they are hellbent on doing everything in their power to regulate coal and gas-fueled power plants out of existence, no matter the cost to energy security and reliability. Just last week, before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, every FERC Commissioner agreed that we cannot eliminate coal today or in the near future if we want to have a reliable electric grid. If the reports are true, the pending EPA proposal would impact nearly all fossil-fueled power plants in the United States, which generate about 60 percent of our electricity, without an adequate plan to replace the lost baseload generation. This piles on top of a broader regulatory agenda being rolled out designed to kill the fossil industry by a thousand cuts,” Manchin said in a statement.

You know Biden's nominees must be some really radical wackos to earn Manchin's ire.

He created the legislation basically by himself so he could vote for it.

That's not the white house

He didn’t exercise the leverage he had. Should have known better and held out. His other problem is reelection. Jim Justice is believed to be a strong candidate and WV is targeted for a flip. Expect Ole Joe to put on the conservative hat again for election season.

He did. Which is why the IRA had every concession he asked for.

It's his own fault....now he's just gonna stomp his feet for a bit.

Protecting the air we all breathe and the water we all drink does not make one a "radical wacko."

Or maybe you would prefer drinking contaminated water and breathing poisoned air, like Manchin obviously does. ("Just, everyone buy air purifiers and water filters and we'll be fine")

I mean, what in the actual fuck? You LIKE pollution?
